Broodmother Slivina: 47, 20

Comment by Libow

A word of advice: Don't try to fight the beastie head to head, you will just end up taking a dirt nap. Instead, ride around the camp in circles, dropping traps and charging back to the Broodmother when you can and using the Gore ability after you stun it. Let Hemet do all of the work!

Comment by Skipah

Or....you could just dismount and kill him yourself which is must faster and still completes the quest.

Comment by Ruby84

This quest is pretty hard. I stayed on the mount just to be sure. It seems you have to keep ur mammoth alive. Traps were very beneficial.

Comment by arthemas

You can heal both yourself and your mammoth while mounted. Probably all other ranged spells as well.

Comment by SyntaxTerror

Excellent quest, and a very fun end to the wotlk Nesingwary chain.

Tips: Use the stun every time its up and kite the dragon around, lead it into the traps and spam Gore. As mentioned above, dont fight it head to head, you will fail.

Comment by Googla

Just run around in cirlces, he dont get a chance to hit you. I didnt lose any HP, and he will get lower HP by the traps that is automaticly laid out :)

Comment by Chocopie

You'll mount a mammoth named Stampy. This is a reference to when Bart Simpson from The Simpsons gets a pet elephant and he names it Stampy.

Comment by rhamnusia

Riding around dropping traps and letting Hemet 'do the work' resulted in the Broodmother dead, but no credit for the quest. Not to mention controlling the mammoth was a little buggy.

Much easier to just kill the beast straight up (78 BM hunter at time), go back to camp and collect your xp while Hemet brags about the battle.

Comment by MidnightOverlord

Just use poor Stampy and his abilities as often as possible and untill he dies; Then you should be able to kill off the last remaining HP of the Broodmother on your own without too much trouble.

Comment by Neophayne

if you bandage stampy he dies =(I beat the broodmother with stampy and it was fun =D then i tried to heal him and he just plops over dead...

Comment by afin

I got her to 20% but she killed stampy and mammoth so I solo her after that and still got the kill :)

Comment by Netspook

As said above, she can be feared. But that's a stupid thing to do. Because if she moves just a tiny little bit outside her area, she resets.

Kiting doesn't work either. At least if you run outside her place. Even if you get her back to the place she spawns before she gets the killing blow, you will not get credit for it.

Tried both methods several times, and no luck whatsoever with it.

No success at all with this quest so far, the "intended" way is too damn hard for me :/

Comment by Darkz0r

If your mammoth thingy dies, don't worry, just try to kill it anyway. It's rootable and has only ~35k health.

Comment by Zevyr

After completing this quest, Hemet appears and has a short conversation with Dorian:

Hemet Nesingwary says: What a fight you missed, Dorian! It was one for the ages!Hemet Nesingwary says: There we were, riding into battle at full speed on the back of Stampy...Hemet Nesingwary says: Everything was shaking all over the place. I could hardly steady my gun.Hemet Nesingwary says: And then we saw her, the fearsome beast!Hemet Nesingwary says: It took all of <name>'s skill to maintain control of Stampy.Hemet Nesingwary says: The battle was a haze of blood, lead, and sweat. The broodmother's attacks came faster and faster!Hemet Nesingwary says: But, in the end, <name> and I prevailed through our wits and teamwork. And now we have this glorious trophy as a memento of our victory.Hemet Nesingwary says: Do I detect a bit of jealousy, Dorian?Dorian Drakestalker says: Well, I don't know. I was here tending the fire and discussing the drawbacks of cogs with Zootfizzle. That's pretty epic, too, in its own way.

Comment by droeblek9

I had to do this quest 2 times to get credit for the kill. The first time (when I did not get credit), I primarily kited the Broodmother over Hemet's traps and did little to no damage on my own. The second time I made sure to actively damage the Broodmother with Stampy's attacks while still kiting it over Hemet's traps, and I got credit for the kill. I'm guessing that there's a minimum damage threshold that you have to reach to be able to get credit for the kill.

Comment by tke5821

I stayed mounted on the mammoth for a while then got knocked off when the broodmother was at 10k health and as a warlock the dragon was fearable which helped me finish the quest. Just a hint for other warlocks out there :)

Comment by asherkobin

This is the last Nesingwary quest in WotLK? I'm guessing that because of the achievement earned after completing the quest.

Awww :( (I still need to do the Outland and Azeroth ones)

Comment by Zorniac

76 frost mage, got him down to about half health, mammoth died, froze him, blinked, summoned water elemental and finished him off, yes, you can complete the quest if the mammoth dies.

Comment by Koor

Complete Awesomeness!

While doing this quest as a hunter, I noticed my hunter was autoshooting at range from the mammoths back, so after killing the dragon, I decided to see if I could ride around on the mammoths back and kill other things by kiting them. It worked, and the whole time, the voice was yelling "lure them into the trap!" and dropping fire traps.

After that, I decided to delete the quest so I could ride stampy around the zone whenever I want and autoshoot things.. too much fun.

It'll only work for hunters though, otherwise you'll have to get in melee range to auto-attack your target.

Comment by Mithorium

You can cast spells while mounted on the mammothYou can also cast while the mammoth is movingSoloed as a 76 frost mage by using frostbolt while strafing on the mammoth

Comment by Erethzium

The dragoness seems to do SIGNIFICANTLY less damage when you're not riding Stampy. Was doing 500 damage MAX on a priest with ~4000 armor.

Easily solo'd. :)

Comment by pond

What could be more fun than riding an elephant in circles getting chased by a fire breathing dragon with a deranged dwarf shooting an incredibly loud gun, and all the while this manic dwarf constantly yells at the dragon "Eat lead!" and gives you driving directions.

Excellent quest, well done Bliz!Bloody funny.

Comment by norsegds

It might seem difficult at first, but the fight is pretty easy once you realize one thing:

The Charge ability can be used while facing away from her.

I ran back and forth in a straight line, thus having her follow me into any traps that Hemet threw down. As soon as Charge was up I tapped it, reversing direction to zip through her and continue my run. Pretty easy if done that way, and neither I, Hemet, nor Stampy lost any significant amount of health.

Comment by SJSchmidt93

I got him to 15%, my Mammoth died, but I was able to finish him off by myself.

Comment by Rhini

Apparently this mount is more versatile than it looks, as I was able to mine a saronite node without getting off it's back.

Comment by saito

Oh yes that was MUCH easier. Thanks for pointing that out. :) She only has like 34k hp and like no armor lol.

Comment by ProUnit

The mammoth has a secret ability. The action bar has numbers 1-6, but there is actually a war stomp bound to SEVEN. You obviously can't click on it, so just press 7 to do the war stomp stun, run back and charge in for another stun and do some more damage. It also keeps annoying mobs off you while you travel to and from the boss. Hope this helps =)

Comment by PilsnerDk

You don't have to use the mammoth mount at all if you don't want to. You can leave it immediately, go kill the Broodmother and get the quest done.

Comment by Skoro

Just did this on my 76 Holy Pally. I decided to take the head to head approach and Stampy ended up dying when she was at about 5k hp. All it took after Stampy died was a bubble and a few Holy Skocks and Shield of Righteousness'.

Comment by dbodinem

If you are like me, and these mount quests seem at best clunky and drive you crazy...just ditch Stampy and kill her. I may have been over level (78) but I can imagine some one lvl 76 w/ a major fire protection potion could do it as well.

Seems a shame to me that Blizz abandoned the almost necessary grouping for the Nesingwary quest finales in STV and Nagrand in favor of a solo mount quest.

Maybe its just me, but I find most of the mount quests (especially the Storm Giant one in Zul'Drak) absolutely infuriating. Honestly, I am getting better at the Wyrmrest Daily so maybe by the time toon 2 and 3 hit 76 this will be doable.

Comment by Dethday

You can cast anything as if you weren't mounted and standing still you just have to do it in macro form. Typing /cast lightning bolt works even while moving. You can also heal the mammoth or yourself.

Comment by expulse

I cant seem to complete this line, I have done all of the quests and i found the guy but what am I missing? Ive done the other two hemet lines completely and I thought I had done this one but no achievement.

Comment by 1Beachcomber

Note that you can still mine ore that you see along the way when mounted on the mammoth. You do not need to dismount.

Comment by GenrL

Pretty easy overall try not to catch any adds on the way up there like i did. All you have to do is use the mammoth and if he dies(he shoudnt) the broodmother will be weak enough(hopefully) by that time so you can go head to head.

Comment by viggiroth

I didn't know till know that Hemet was actually on the mammoth since I didn't read the quest info and my quest was bugged. But I completed it anyway, my mammoth died at 40% and after several Executes later boom! Dead.

Comment by Gwalchgwynn

Wow great find! It does have a war stomp type ability bound to number 7. Was almost too easy!

Comment by nanoboss

She is nerar 47.37 , 21.17 you cant miss her elite 77 dragon on the floor.

Comment by christinhon

when my mount killed the dragon had 45%of his life.and then i tried all alone and defeated very easy as a death knight

Comment by Sidaiedon

With Hemet firing off the back of 'Stampy' at the Broodmother, I couldn't help but think of Colonel Rimfire from the old Warner Bros. Cool Cat cartoons. Rimfire was a British big game hunter that would chase after Cool Cat from the back of his robotic pink elephant, firing wildly with his Blunderbuss.

It's a bit oscure, but there are similiarities there...and Blizzard does love its Easter Eggs...

Comment by Corrupted

This quest was just epic enough to make me forgive Hemet for making me do all those boring "kill x of y" grind quests.

Comment by amnesiac

if your elek Stampy dies go on fighting you can complete by your own

Comment by Calistus

The quest name is a reference to postpartum depression, so I hope you feel bad for killing a brand new mother! :(

Comment by savagy

Really really easy... like... almost free xp.

Comment by corners

Just a heads up, if your mount dies while fighting her you will dismount. It bugged on me and my action bars did not show after my mount died. All i could see was the mounts action bars. I was fortunate that the mob only had about 1k health so i was able to auto attack her down. I had to log out to fix the bug even after turning the quest in.

Easy fight all in all for the reward you get.

Comment by Lightning2710

Completed, but I lost Stampy before even gettig to the quest, and couldn't figure out how to get him back.

No matter, he is soloable without Stampy.

Comment by Jayvor

It is also to be known that you CAN cast spells from Stampy's back! When I did the fight, he was pretty weakened because I had been off, fighting other drakes. As I fought the Broodmother, I opened up the spellbook (P) and healed up Stampy! You can cast even while Stampy moves, and I assume offensive spells and melee abilities work as well.

Comment by Avalone

After a failed attempt on the mammoth (didn't know about the hidden #7 stun), I tried solo'ing it. Piece of cake as a lvl 79 feral druid with okay gear and around 15k hp. Just stealth up in kitty, pounce, get in a couple dots before pounce wears off, and then go bear. Bash when she starts breathing fire, and heal if needed. I finished with about 3/4 hp. :)

Comment by 2OfDiamonds

Postpartum depression (PPD), also called postnatal depression, is a form of clinical depression which can affect women, and less frequently men, after childbirth.

Comment by Jinkzt3r

Some said that fighting her head-on is a bad idea, and it is. I still managed to kill her (albeit with 347 hp left at the end) head-on by using the stun (bound to key 7) to stop her from shooting her spell, and running out about 8 yards and using the Charge ability on the Mammoth bar. Spam Gore when it is up, drop traps and pull her into them. Probably could have done better but of course, I started the quest without reading the spell abilities. Smart huh?

Comment by confussled

Easy quest with some great rewards ( was a major upgrade for me at 76) and very fun to play. Feels epic when combined with WoW's awesome music.

Comment by taurenmoo812

So there she is, the noble brood mother of the proto drakes, tending to her children, not hurting anyone, unless someone is stupid enough to bother her brood.

THEN, you get some insane dwarf getting adventurers to kill her brood, kidnap her children, and finally killing her on the back of a mammoth. One can't help but feel a tad somber after this quest.

Comment by Lightning2710

Want Stampy back? Just abandon quest, and re-accept.

Comment by gorgutz13

This quest is so much fun, I tried it like ten times, although I got credit the first time, encountered no bugs and I did go head to head with her unlike everyone else it seems, I suggest doing it though, nice rewards and lots of fun.

Comment by Adreya

Forget about the Mammoth and just solo the brood mother. I did this as a level 77 balance druid with, I'm not gonna lie, pretty crappy gear, and I had no trouble. It was worse trying to direct the mammoth. :)

Comment by gamerunknown

Quest awards a lot of slow ranged weapons... Suitable, if a hunter wants a steady, aimed shot that packs a lot of punch.

Comment by Tjj19

Loved this quest, real fun :) The key to it is keep moving, otherwise, you'll die real easy. Stampy will disappear after you die, so you'll need to abandon the quest, and then reaccept.

Comment by JarV13

Without knowing what to do the first time, I charged in and engaged the Broodmother as well as a drake that pulled in from behind. Like others have said, she does a lot of damage face to face, and that coupled with the other drake killed me. I didn't know if I could get another Stampy, so I decided to solo it as a 77 fire mage. This is easily doable because she can be slowed and kited, just watch out because she can easily hit for 2k+ on cloth.

Comment by Erunatale

yep, i just soloed this (77 balance druid) without the mount because i accepted the quest, alt-tabbed to here to get tips, and when i tabbed back into wow i was dead, ganked apparently. and the enemy players were still around, so no re-accepting the quest to get stampy back. figured i'd just fly over and see if i could do it myself, and i did, but just barely.

Comment by Nerill

As a 76 combat dagger rogue, I tried taking her down several times on the mammoth and wasn't getting anywhere: it was just frustrating. Anyway, I just abandoned the mammoth, put up wound poison on main and crippling on off hand (for use with shiv), popped a mighty agility and protection elixer, an agility scroll and ate some Snapper Extreme for the Hit. I stealthed and clubbed/ambushed her then just shiv, SS and Eviscerated her down. Didn't need to pop a health potion and only lost 3.5k health. It was over in seconds - fastest elite (one lvl higher than me) that I've ever taken down.

Listening to Hemet brag at the end was fun and ironic. Can't wait to get back to the main camp to tell everyone just how useless he really was: lol. I'm taking the Prybar to replace my crossbow - a Rogue really should be using a throwing knife and the parry stat is great.

Comment by Mylan

Stampy gains any Paladin Auras you might have up - have fun with that : )

Comment by mipsacri

I had a hard time actually getting over to the dragon itself with the mammoth, I kept running into problems.

So, I went over there and killed her solo with a 76 unholy/frost DK. Just spam death strike and use all CD's and gargoyle, and one pot. It registered as a kill immediately, didn't have to do it twice or anything.

Good luck~

Comment by maooo

i was killed the first try and i cant get the mammoth back :s

Comment by Killerwartz

Quite honestly, never been good with the mammoth mounting quests (can't see!) so I decided to try without stampy. I dismounted stampy right off the bat and went over to the broodmother and engaged. You don't need to have stampy,you dont need to "signal" (hunter target) him or have hemet with you, you just need to kill the broodmother. Did it as a 77 demonology lock.

Edit: Oh yeah, and even though I never had stampy or Hemet with me for the kill, the same dialoge is said when you turn it in lol. Hemet going on about the battle he was never there for. And oh yeah, my great skills with stampy! :p

Comment by Killerwartz

Just abandon the quest and pick it back up, youll get stampy again.

Comment by zaoly

this was my last in questlogg when i completed it and now i cant recive any more quest in Sholazar basin , i got 2 achivments, is there any tricks ? something i can do ?

EDIT :

i found out that i had to kill a wolf down in 53,75 and receive a quest from one of the guards there.. woppeyeaje

Comment by eebrains

I didn't have the quest, or Stampy, or whatever - but as a LEVEL 72 DK I solo'd her for fun in my tank gear (I'm blood tanking spec). I have decent tank gear admittedly, cobalt gear + quest items. I used every cooldown and had about half HP at the end.

Don't ask why I tried, I just came across her and went for it. I won first try.

Maybe I'm good, maybe I just got lucky.Heartstriker, Shadowmoon

Comment by WaxyAssassin

You can let Stampy Die when the Broodmother Slivina has like 1000 hp left and just kill him your self and get 5000 exp when your rested...unless you still get exp when you kill her with Stampy

Comment by megahuman

Easy quest once you learn how to do it.

Stun him then gore and get the guy to target him at the same time. Then do your button 4 one. and try run away from him. keep pressing 1 each time the button 1 refreshes.

And just try stay away from him so you can stun him when stun is ready.

Then do it again, stun, gore, target then button 4.

I found this to be easiest.

Remember not to leave the area!

Comment by kaptainkommie

As a 79 MM hunter, i found it much easier just to drop off the mammoth and fight normally. KIlled her in about 10 seconds or so. MD'd to the pet and just burst dps'd the crap out of her.

Comment by Shadowofrsr

I did it easy on the mammoth as a 77 BM hunter. Just ran around her in circles leading her onto traps when he laid them down and attempting to hit her whenever I could. Really easy fight mammoth didn't even drop below 90% hp.

Comment by shortstop4611

Easily Soloed as a level 77 Hunter.

Grabbed my bear, didnt use the mammoth, kept up aspect of the beast. Bestial Wrath and kill command helped.BTW im beast master if you havent figured it out.

Comment by nobleknight

Quite possibly the easiest Nesingwary finishing quest of all the three chains as long as you do what several others have said - just run around in circles and let Hemet take care of her. I paused every now and then to attack a few times then immediately started running again. She didn't want to run into the traps he kept dropping, but she doesn't really need to. I normally hate vehicle quests, but I have to say I'm actually looking forward to repeating this one on other characters.

Comment by Randomnation

yea I did this twice. first time i let hemet do it all and got no credit, so the seconde time I let him do most of the work then i dismounted and finished her off, worked like a charm :)

Comment by Nekrotik

Another of Blizzard's famous suicide missions where they give you a vehicle that's totally inadequate to do the job. Like everyone says, forget about fighting her, the mammoth has maybe 1/3 of the health it would need to win that fight. I tried the running around method and both times Nesingwary gave up and disappeared when the drake was at around 49%. His traps are totally useless, by the way. She runs right over them, even ignoring groups of 3 or 4 traps. The magic secret 7 button mentioned above did nothing on my computer. Best advice is to skip this one, since the rewards suck anyway. Or bring a friend or two, dismount the useless mammoth and kick her ass yourself. I want the achievement so I plan to come back at level 80 and destroy her.

Comment by Deadmans444

I drew about 5 Primordial Drakes on the way to Silvina. (Numlock ftw) All you have to do is kite Silvina in a circle around her spawn point. Just spawn 1, which is Hemet's attack dealio. If you get stunned, use Stampy's Stomp-Stomp and stun them right back and keep on circling the camp. Hope it helped, Kagorin of Arathor.

Comment by kalisperis

Easily soloed as a 76 lvl retri paladin with retri aura, might and seal of righteousness...Didn't need the mount at all... When you think you lose hp, just use Hammer of Justice and heal yourself. So simple.

Comment by Thoseguys1

I tried this one several times as a level 80, well geared hunter, I tried with BM and marksmanship but never could quite do it. I've watched other players do the same. Anyway, my wife and I were playing together and she had just picked it up. We were teamed up and she accidentally started shooting the dragoness, as I was going up with "stampy".... we killed her, along with about 5 other ones and both got credit, so nope, you don't need stampy to get this one.

Comment by wtfoomnofair

Kite the mob with the mammoth. Hemet will take care of it. If you happen to lose your mammoth, the drake is NOT immune to cc.

Comment by safetydance

I'm not very good at vehicles so I decided to just solo in bear form at 77 as feral, wasn't too bad at all for those who feel like giving it a shot.

Comment by danecman

yea, she killed the mammoth ( it wass low on health from fighting threee proto drakes) and I soloed her as a unholy lvl 76 DK. she was really easy.

Comment by featalene

She no longer resets when she leaves her area. I ran all the way back to the tent and she killed me there. at 76 she creamed me head to head. At 77 no sweat.

Comment by GnrAlex

who gives this quest? this quest doesnt appear from the npc that should give it..

Comment by ziggy29

Level 78 elemental shammy -- was MUCH easier for me without using Stampy and Hemet. I set down totems for fire elemental and earth elemental, stepped back while they tanked the beast. I sat back, threw flame shocks, lava bursts (for 6000+) and lightning bolts and the fight was over in about 15 seconds. Never took aggro at all and the elementals both survived it.

Comment by DasRageCage

When i try and do anything it says pet out of range..... HELP

Comment by randldixon1

All u have to do to get credit for the kill take you and pet and leave the Ride home kill him solo with my pet lvl 75 hunter

Comment by xiraga

I was standing next to a proto-drake egg to recover some health to Stampy after fighting agains a normal dragon which I aggroed when going to to kill Broodmother. While standing, Hemet started to attack a nearby Proto-Drake Egg and yelled to me: "Lure it into trap!" :D

Comment by rocktweety007

hunter send in pet and kill it you do not need the mammoth...

Comment by DarkGod75

Lv76 MM Hunter, used Master Marksman Found it very easy to let my pet go in gain aggro, open with Aimed Shot, used Steady Shot till I could fire Aimed shot again, few Arcane spread throughout, only had to men my tank pet once. Found this very easy as opposed to the 'intended' way, For an Elite it seem very weak, ones in Dragonblight seemed tougher.

Comment by eclip468

Soloed easily as lvl 77 BM hunter, without the annoying mammoth. Sent in pet, used arcane shot repeatedly, used fervor once when low on focus and mend pet once. Much easier than some of the other quests in this zone, like Returned Sevenfold.

Comment by multiversekyle

The mammoth does nothing but get in your way. The dragon is not as tough as you'd expect and easily soloed it as a lvl 78 BM Hunter. Just sent my pet in and stood back and blasted it. Died the first time because the mammoth could do nothing to it and when Stampy died it dumped me off with my pet on passive and by the time I got him switched it was too late. You've gotta go in blasting and just dps it to death.

Just go kill this ^&*!@ without Stampy and save yourself a lot of hassle.

Comment by Catoria

Very frustrating. Killed twice with the mammoth, didn't get credit. Dumped the mammoth, killed the dragon, turned it in. Very irritating.

Comment by deafndumb

I left Stampy and hit the roads myself. Did just fine killing the broodmother on my own with a 78 hunter. You can find her at 47,20. She's behind a line of burning trees, on a bit of a cliff, if you're having a bit of trouble seeing her.
